How Will I Be Charged for My Use of a VPN? Will I Be Charged for VPN Gateway EIPs?

VPNs are billed by the following items on a yearly/monthly or pay-per-use basis.
  • VPN gateway
  • VPN connection

    By default, 10 VPN connection groups are included free of charge with the purchase of a VPN gateway. You can purchase additional VPN connections if required.

  • EIP bandwidth of a VPN gateway

    The VPN gateway bandwidth can be billed by traffic or bandwidth.

    1. A yearly/monthly VPN gateway can only be billed by bandwidth. The price of a yearly/monthly VPN gateway includes the price of the VPN connections that can be created for the gateway and the bandwidth price.
    2. The billing cycle of the pay-per-use billing mode is 1 hour. When you create a pay-per-use VPN gateway, the system prompts you to create VPN connections. By default, 10 VPN connection groups are included free of charge with the purchase of a VPN gateway. If more connection groups are required, you need to purchase them.

      A VPN gateway cannot share a bandwidth with an EIP bound to an ECS.
